Xiaorong probably made a very clever report, right?Although I haven't found out the truth yet, it's not hard to guess what she made up.Don't I know the consistent style of these guys framing people? The surrounding air is getting serious little by little, a conspiracy, an offensive, is unfolding against me. Behind Xiao Rong, there must be a military adviser.who?Is it G?Normally speaking, he shouldn't embarrass me like this.But this kind of person is difficult to measure with common sense.I once refused his last request, but I didn't embarrass him; besides, what I said to him at that time was not frank and tactful?I said: "If I agree with you, then, even if I am not afraid of her, this hot bastard will at least cause trouble for you; besides, Fatty Chen has been eyeing me for a long time, and I also have many difficulties on my side. The time is not ripe, we Take it easy." At that time, he just salivated and smiled, his eyes flickering, obviously harboring malicious intentions.But when I hinted that I still have a hidden disease and the cure is not yet cured, I let go of his arms and said in a low voice, "You are not afraid of being burdened, but I don't want to make you suffer!"——He suddenly went crazy Laughing ferociously, he threw me onto the sofa violently, bit my shoulder, twisted my neck... Duh, it's really not human, it's a mad dog!

But in the future, he didn't seem to hold any grudges against me. The delicate relationship between us was like a show; and then it was Xiao Rong who came to attract his sensuality. Why did he frame me?Unsolvable.But this kind of person is difficult to measure with common sense! Unless he is afraid that I will be disadvantageous to him first.Is this a joke?What can I do with him?How can I be in such a leisurely mood?I believe I am not so boring! But wait a minute, his ghostly thoughts may not be completely without reason.When he was trying to lure me into the bait, didn't I accidentally see one or two of his secrets?Although my fashion was silly, he might not be able to rest assured.A person like him has deep scheming, poisonous means, and many suspicions.In his opinion, everyone is as bad as he is, and he must bite if he is not bitten; he is probably sure that I will do him a bad job first.

It's a bit timid.Little Rong alone is not afraid; but—— How can I cope with this difficulty? Humph, let's see!Dogs that don't bite will bite when chased. Let's see! I have to strike first, without delay.Fortunately, I still have a few "fuzi" in this game of chess. The outcome is unknown, and it depends on human effort.After a little planning, I decided on the steps. After getting dressed, take a selfie in the mirror.Some people say that I am the most touching when I am frowning and silent.Maybe.But isn't my smiling posture beautiful?It's not annoying in the least.Remember—remember Xiao Zhao said that I am the best at whispering and talking, he said, this kind of situation is simply intoxicating.I agree with him.Now that I have more experience, should I be more proficient in this technique? ... I turned my face sideways and looked at my figure; I took a step forward and faced the mirror. Oh, there seemed to be a few more wrinkles on my forehead!He is only twenty-four years old, and his whole body is full of the rich fragrance of youth, but do the wrinkles on his forehead appear so quickly?Who is to blame?My life and mood in recent years——hey, what do you think about it!

Just as I was about to go out, I suddenly heard: "There is a guest." Who is it?I found my private apartment. When the landlady's bloated body was out of the way, I was startled by a thin heavily dressed face.Ah, is that her? When did she get here?What did she come to see me for? I haven't seen her for several years, but Shunying is still the same.Four or five years seemed to have no effect on her, either physically or mentally.Her first words confirmed my feeling. "Ah, you are very proud now - your status is higher, you have more friends, noble people forget things, no wonder you can't remember my old classmate, old friend. But Songsheng and I will miss you one day , really..."

"I didn't expect you to come too," I cut off her gushing politeness. "When did you arrive? Where do you live? How come I don't know at all!" "Ah, look, the nobleman really forgets things, I don't blame you, but I..." "But, Sister Shunying, I actually didn't know you were here at all." "Oh, old classmate, old friend, you are also busy, I don't blame you..." She moved closer, as if she had already prepared a car, and if she didn't let her pour it out, she would be suffocated.I won't interrupt her again this time, I listened quietly, but my heart was turning over the past four or five years ago.

According to her, she and her husband had been here last month, and had looked for me at the Ministry—of course they couldn't find me; from her tone, they were looking for something and hadn't got a clue yet. "In the past few years, you have been so prosperous and smooth sailing," she said, grabbing my hand with the most coquettish gesture, "Although it is luck, it is all due to your own ability and active work." I just smiled slightly, remembering the bad limelight she had when she first became the wife of the party committee member of the upper province. "Do you still remember Xiqiang?" She moved closer and lowered her voice.

I shivered abruptly,—hey, why did she mention him?Stupid thing with no wink!I lazily raised my eyelids, hinting to her that I am not interested in this topic. But this "former wife of the committee member" didn't notice it, and moved closer and said solemnly: "He is knowledgeable, capable, and good enough to be a friend. You know it best." I almost turned pale.What is the purpose of this?Shameless hozen, are you teasing me to my face?Or is it really that stupid?I was just about to give her a little bit of boredom, when I changed my mind suddenly, I thought why bother to come, do I still feel that there are too few enemies around me, I have to be forgiving and forgiving, I pretended to smile and said: "Shunying, why are you here today?" You keep filling me with rice soup! If I also know a little about Xi Qiang, wouldn’t it all be due to your teacher?

Where can I get you! " "Well, that's not how it is said. Although I knew him first, and Matsuo knew him well, you are different—you had a special relationship with him after all." "Hey, hey——" What else can I say besides laughing? "Special relationship"? ——My dear wife, are you exposing someone's pain, or are you making a fool of yourself? "Hey, hey——" I smiled again, and lightly mocked: "If you talk about this point, I would like to thank you in advance——thank you for your kind cooperation, haha!" "Where, where, - how dare I take credit for it!" Her tone was really sincere and humble. "It's good for him, and it's good for you. Both are good, haha!"

My patience has really reached its limit.There are such shameless people who don't wink!If I don't stop her with words, who would have guessed what kind of farts she will fart?But before I opened my mouth, she smacked her lips and said, "Xiqiang is such a friend! Let me tell you, we are here this time thanks to his help! Think about it, ships, planes, three or four How much is the ticket price for a person? Songsheng doesn’t have much savings, so where can I get enough money for an allowance? Xiqiang asked us to pay tribute to you again and again—he cares about you; he said, what do you lack, he can help you He must try his best when he is strong. Look, how nostalgic he is!"

"Oh! Thank you, ..." I responded casually.Do I still value such "nostalgia"?That's the joke.Didn't he hurt me enough before?But judging from Shunying's tone, it seems that he has a lot of "methods" recently.Not surprisingly.Suddenly I thought of something and my alertness increased.I grabbed Shunying's hand and asked cordially, "Isn't Xiqiang doing well recently?" "Not only is it not bad!" Shunying's eyebrows were beaming, but she paused immediately and said in a changed tone, "Look at the situation——there is still some way."

Hmph, does this idiot also want to play tricks on me?There must be a trick in it, I must dig it out.Just use the flyback method: "I heard that the central government gave him a very important task, don't you know?" "Ah, central—ah, I don't know." "Fifty thousand yuan was allocated to him recently!" I made it up casually. "Oh, fifty thousand! Ah, it turns out that he is also with the central government..." She suddenly stopped, her expression changed a little, as if she had been cheated, but fortunately she discovered it by accident. But I firmly grasped the word "also" from her, and immediately took a step forward: "Of course he also accepts the task given to him by the central government!" "But, do you know, he—" Shunying stared, as if swallowing the words below "he" forcefully, then took out a handkerchief and pressed it lightly on her pink face a few times. "He—he what?" I pretended to be careless, but this "former committee wife" was busy pressing her pink face with a handkerchief. After a long while, he faltered and replied: "He is really good at what he does. Pretty." Seeing that she was covering up too clumsily, I couldn't help but smile.The matter is already very clear, and I don't have much time to go around in circles with her, and go straight to the point, so I just use words to fool her: "Shunying, you don't need to hide it from me anymore, we are good friends, like sisters. Besides, my feelings for Xiqiang are not bad-but if you really don't know, then what I told you today, You don't want to tell others. Xiqiang——he also has contacts with Riwang!" "Ah yo, oh—oh, he has contacts there. But how do you know?" Obviously the surprise was feigned, but maybe it was a bit real, because she never thought that I was making it up to test her. "Of course, I know." I deliberately teased her again. "You don't have to lie to me anymore." She immediately argued anxiously: "Ah, heaven and conscience, if I deceive you on purpose, it will not be rewarding. Although we are in Shanghai together, Song Sheng and I are living at home, and we don't know much about many things. Of course there is nothing wrong. I got a few bits and pieces of rumors, but I told Songsheng, Xi Qiang is such a person, maybe it’s okay? You think, there is no evidence, how can this sentence be used on others casually?" I immediately dared her again: "That doesn't matter. There are some people on both sides, and there are some! If there is a way, everything will be fine; if there is no way, everything will be bad!" "Hey!" She replied ambiguously, twisting and wringing the handkerchief with both hands, obviously searching her brains, preparing to try her "smartness" again.But I didn't have the patience to wait, so I asked again: "Did you come together this time after receiving the order?" For some reason, when she heard my words, she suddenly jumped all over, and asked in a panic, "What order? This is not a joke!" But then she realized the meaning of my words, and said with a concealed smile: "Oh, do you mean the order from the central government? No. But I have met the secretary-general, and I am waiting for the assignment." I nodded and smiled.There must be some "reason" for Shunying's panic just now? After pondering for a while, she said again: "Here—things are expensive and not good. Life is miserable. It costs two yuan to drink a cup of coffee, but what kind of coffee is that? It's just brown sugar water! Everything is inferior to that in Shanghai. It’s cheap and comfortable. If you go to Shanghai, it would be great! Xiqiang... Oh, why don’t you find a way to ask to be transferred to Shanghai to work? Shanghai also has jobs, and it’s more convenient to work. Oh, I just remembered a sentence By the way, Xi Qiang,—you think about him—it’s probably his special mission to communicate with him there?——I’m just guessing like this, what do you think?” I smiled and remained silent.It's hard for her to make a grandiose article out of the sentence I made up.But she wants to persuade me to go to Shanghai, is this intentional or not? At this time, suddenly the alarm sounded.She jumped up all of a sudden, looked at the window, and kept shouting: "Why, why, you can't see it here, how many red balls are hanging? This is too dangerous!" "Irrelevant." I lazily stood up. "Is there a long way for you to go back? Or, just enter our cave." She hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to go back.But she was still in the mood to tell me her address. The alarm was lifted at about one o'clock in the afternoon.I hid in the bomb shelter for about two hours.The flickering candlelight illuminated some sweaty faces, dim eyes, and casual conversation.I sat in a dark corner, held my head in my hands, re-evaluated the interviews of the "former committee wife" piece by piece, and guessed the attack that was enveloping me, thinking about my own life. Whether the countermeasures are sure to win.I felt that my face was hot, and the blood vessels on my forehead were throbbing. Suddenly a sentence came from the front of the cave: the anti-aircraft guns rang!The noise that filled the cave immediately fell silent, only the sound of breathing.There was a tinge of sadness that slowly permeated from my heart to the tip of my nose, and I mumbled to myself in bewilderment: "If a bomb falls at this time, it will be over immediately, and I will be happy!" When I was young, I often heard my mother say: Life is like doing a play. In middle school and beyond, it is often heard that life is a constant struggle. I'm fighting now, or acting?Oh, it's like fighting and acting!The most troublesome thing is that there are struggles within struggles, and dramas within dramas.And what am I for?Five or six years ago, wasn't I much simpler than I am now?At that time, I felt at ease and walked the path of life that a person should walk.However, this hinders no one's interests. All kinds of coercion and temptation are concentrated on me, an innocent girl, and it is said that they are all for my interests——to make my life more comfortable.But now, I'm "so comfortable"! The first despicable and shameless person who walked into my life turned out to be—— Thank you Shunying for bringing this news.Unexpectedly, there will be a day when I can see him reveal his true form with my own eyes, and maybe I can take revenge on him with my own hands!To repay him for "promoting" me to where I am today with all his despicable and shameless means! If I still feel that life is interesting now, it is only because there are still some people, and there are still a few people, and I want to take revenge on them one by one! Coming out of the bomb shelter, the September sun and breeze gave me strength.After thinking about it for a while, I decided to go to G's place first to have a feel for the air.Like a wolf-hunter, I have to be bold and alert; I think I can deal with him, and I still have a magic weapon that can subdue him. Unfortunately, there seems to be a "mysterious guest" in G's place.I saw that the servant's expression was not right, so I turned around and left, but as soon as I got to the door, I chased after him and said "please".Could it be that the "guest" actually "avoided" because of me?I had a premonition that G also expected me to come, and there would be a "good show" today. Sure enough, as soon as we met, G smiled maliciously and said: "Miss, I've become a dignitary in a few days, and I'm planning to make an appointment with a few people to cheer me up." Oh, from the very beginning, he "uses offense as defense", so I have to use "surprise attack" to have hope. I made a straight face on purpose and said, "I'm about to settle accounts with you! Please tell the servants to refuse visitors within an hour." "Hey, hey," he smiled lightly, "one hour? Miss, it's too long, can you bear it?" I pretended to ignore it, sat down, picked up the cold water bottle on the table, poured a glass, took a sip, and then said: "Think about it for yourself, where I offended you, why are you lying behind the scenes?" Give orders and attack me? Let me think about it for you: who am I? A person like me doesn’t seem to be worth your trouble. Well, I’ll come to your door today and wait for your noble hand!” He stood there with his arms folded and just laughed. I continued to attack: "Think about it, I have been in this circle for three or four years, and I have seen a few heroes with red eyebrows and green eyes; I have tasted all of them; There is also a bit of doctrine in life: I have no intention of harming others, but when they force me to go nowhere, I have to defend myself. Even if I am ruined, I am not afraid, but it may not have no influence at all.” He still stood there with his arms crossed, but he stopped smiling, his eyes were shining like a wolf ready to bite.Suddenly his gaze narrowed, and he replied coldly: "Are you talking about me? Hehe, miss, calm down, don't get too excited." "Who am I going to tell you if I don't tell you? I'm regretting that I've been too calm!" The voice raised, and I deliberately forced him to get angry. "Hey, hey, hey——" He sneered repeatedly, and stared at me viciously; he turned around suddenly, and walked towards the door.This time, I was quite surprised. I was planning the next move, but he stopped again, turned around, approached me, and said in a low voice but full of threats, "Do whatever you plan to do." Come on, I want to see how sharp your teeth are!" I couldn't help laughing.Is it possible to hide this from me: behind such big words, timidity is often hidden.I finally took the initiative in the battle of nerves.I turned my face sideways, smiled sweetly, and said in a low voice, "How sharp my teeth are, you will never see them. I have never said much. Didn't I admit that you praised me? But now that you have told me, I want to see it." My teeth, then, from now on, I don’t have to be a mouthless gourd in front of several people. But that’s all, nothing sharp.” Before I could finish speaking, he strode forward a few steps. He stopped at my last sentence, clenched his hands tightly, smacked his knuckles, and said to himself: "Damn it! It's intimidation!" "No!" I said immediately, my voice a little heavier. "Today is not intimidation, just to exchange ideas and see if there is anything in common between us. That's all!" He pretended not to pay attention, and continued to walk with big strides. Suddenly, he circled around my back, and suddenly put his hands around my waist; I was startled, and while struggling to stand up, I heard him grinning Said: "Miss, this is what we have in common!" I understood his intention!This lewd evil spirit!I struggled as hard as I could, and shouted sharply, "Don't be stupid!" At the same time, I caught sight of his armor belt hanging on the back of a chair, and his pistol with him. I took a step forward, drew the gun in my hand, Taking a step back, he calmed down and said, "May I remind you that I served in the battlefield." The situation has developed to such a degree that I did not expect it, but what can I do then? He also seemed to be stunned, with his hands folded on his chest, his head tilted, and staring at me. Seems to be hesitating too. At this time, there was a light knock on the door. I threw the pistol on the table and opened the door.Errand's report: The guest in the east room said he was leaving. "You have business, let's see you tomorrow." I turned around and smiled, then walked out lightly and slowly.When I got to the street, I felt my heart beating unstoppably. I don't admit that I have failed.My estimate of G was originally not high; I hope he can be more "peaceful", it is more difficult than "a camel through a pinhole".The purpose of my looking for him was just to test out—to find out if he was directing Xiao Rong to make things difficult for me behind the scenes.This point has now been figured out. But I also dare not be confident that the future is not difficult.In such an environment, unless it is an extremely despicable, shameless and insidious person, it is difficult for anyone to gain a foothold; I am not despicable enough, shameless enough, or insidious enough!I only have a fang or two left, and I can barely defend myself.
